The NANSEL Family
Two NANSEL descendants connect to my GALUS family by marriage:
My Dad's oldest brother Thaddeus (Ted) married Lucille/Lucile Mildred NANSEL July 11, 1934, in Monroe, Nebraska. Ted and Lucille farmed near Monroe for several years. They later moved to Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, where they both worked in the packing houses in South Omaha. They had two sons both of whom are still living.
Lucille was born 22 Aug 1913 in Monroe, Platte County, Nebraska; she died 2 Aug 1988 in Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska. Ted GALUS was born 11 Dec 1912 in Genoa, Nance County, Nebraska; he died 23 Aug 1998 in Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska. Ted and Lucille are both buried at St. John's Cemetery in Omaha (Bellevue), Nebraska.

A sister of my Dad's married Floyd Max NANSEL on February 8,
1934.
Floyd was a son of Michael and Katherine DYER NANSEL; a grandson of
Conrad and Anna Gertrude BOLLIN NANSEL.
Floyd was born 21 Jan 1910 in Monroe, Platte County, Nebraska; he died 25 Jun 1995 in Columbus, Platte County, Nebraska. Floyd is buried at St. Bonaventure Cemetery in Columbus. Floyd and my Aunt were the parents of three children, two of
whom
are buried next to their father at St. Bonaventure Cemetery.

NANSEL Connections
Through my webpage I have connected with a group of NANSEL researchers. While the NANSEL line is not my primary research focus, I am always interested in sharing family history. We've collected a number of NANSEL photographs that I am displaying here.
